Cook on maximum power for 1 minute. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for micro- wave cooking. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time. o Materials you can use in microwave oven: Utensils Remarks Aluminium foil Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven walls. The foil should be at least 2.5cm away from oven walls. Browning dish Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at least 5mm above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.Gebrauchsanweisung ○ Mode d’emploi ○ Istruzioni per l’uso ○ Instruction for use

TROUBLESHOOTING Normal Microwave oven interfering with the TV reception Radio and TV reception may be affected when the micro- wave oven is being used. It is similar to the interference of small electrical appliances, like mixers, vacuum cleaner and electric fan. It is normal. Dim oven light When cooking on low power, the oven light may become dim. It is normal. Steam accumulating on door, hot air out of vents When cooking, steam may come out of the food. Most will escape out of the vents. But some may accumulate on cool surfaces like oven door. It is normal. Oven started accidentally with no food in It is forbidden to run the unit without any food inside. It is very dangerous.
